Some of you might remember that I got a sewing machine on my Birthday but sadly i haven't or dared yet to use it often coz i don't know much about sewing and/or scared that i might break it :P But i've made a New Year's resolution that i'm going to learn how to sew properly and will do alot of sewing in 2012, I've pinned a few Sewing Projects on my Pinterest that I want to do this year and hopefully before the end of this year, i can make all of them and know how to sew.
.I want to make my own phone case, another try in making bunting, cushion cover, patchwork/quilt cover, another cute apron, a bag, curtain and even going to try to make a simple dress! all i need to do now is to gather all the materials and gather my optimism and the will to make them! wish me luck!

I got my sewing machine last year and ive still not built up enough courage to make much im desperate to make my daughter a patchwork quilt but i really need more practice lol x
ReplyDeletelook foward to seeing your creations throughout the year x
Love the sewing projects you have on your pinterest! I don't have much sewing skills. I have made some cafe curtains though (those are pretty easy to make) and some outdoor bunting (again those are super easy to whip up). I haven't been brave enough (yet) to tackle making a purse or anything like that..would love to be able to though. I guess practice makes perfect...I just need lots and lots of practice :P
ReplyDeleteHappy Sewing, do share anything you end up making :)
Hi Susan, you are so uber talented that I have no doubt that you'll master it. Start off with something easy - bunting or a cushion cover. You'll be fine! xx
ReplyDeleteI think the fact that you have made a commitment to learn to sew is awesome! I love to sew, I am a fabric junkie! If you have any questions I would be more than happy to help if I can! I enjoy visiting your blog! have a good day!

You have so many wonderful projects planned! You will get used to the sewing machine (and it will get used to you too) I am always a little scared when I haven’t used one for while, I never start sewing on my best fabric until I have got the hang of using it, but just remember everything you make is an experiment and you will just get better and better :) xxx
ReplyDeleteHello, dear Susan..
ReplyDeleteI know you will be able to accomplish your projects. I'm happy to hear you will be putting your sewing machine to good use. You will make it a very happy machine. It will be 'singing' happily with each stitch.
I wish I was able to stay on the computer longer, but I am in the process of healing some worn out tendons in my arm. Seems my arm is rebelling from all the mouse clicking. So, ta-ta for now. Will check your blog again soon.
Love,

That is a really useful resolution - I wish I could sew better! I have a fab little sewing machine, but I just can't get the hang of it! Good Luck, I'm sure you will achieve all you set out to! x
